Progressive HealthWorks Adapted Driving Program Driving is very important to being able to function. Our love of the automobile has built a society that makes us dependant on having our own transportation to get from place to place. Having to depend on public transportation, rides from family and friends, and other ride services can make life very complicated. While there are some people whose situations are simply too severe to allow them to drive, we find that people can often achieve a great deal more than one might expect if they are simply given the caring support, proper equipment, and skilled training. Over the last 20 years, we at the Adaptive Driving Program have helped thousands of people to become safe, skilled, independent drivers. If you are reading this web site, it is likely that you or someone close to you has a health situation or learning disability which makes it difficult for them to drive. Perhaps there is a lifelong condition which has put driving out of reach. Perhaps there is a recent injury which has limited your mobility. Whatever your situation, we are here to do everything we can to help you get on the road, if it is possible. It is important to remember that not every student of ours is ultimately able to drive. Sometimes physical or cognitive challenges are too great at the time that we work with them. This challenge may be overcome in the future or it could simply be too much. We do, however, encourage everyone who feels that they are ready to try. Even if you do not succeed on this attempt, you will know that you tried, and perhaps with more development you may be ready to try another time and succeed. ission or the Rhode Island Office of Rehabilitation Services. These agencies are chartered to help people with disabilities live and work independently through services such as job training and driver training. They provide support to our consumers in many ways, including providing funding for your training with us. New drivers will be working towards a road test. We feel that it is very important to be well prepared, and we will accompany you to the test.  A growing segment of our business is to provide evaluations for senior citizens to see if they are still safely operating their motor vehicles. Referrals can come from family members, physicians, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the police, or the individual may self-refer. This can be either in connection with a hospital clinical evaluation performed by an occupational therapist or may be provided by us at a location convenient to the senior. There are three possible outcomes of this type of evaluation: we may decide that the senior is doing well and should continue driving; it may be determined that the senior has reached a point where he or she should retire from driving; or we may recommend one or more follow up sessions to correct bad habits or find safer ways of driving.
